I think Keyboards are a personal preference issue. I don’t mind carrying a larger keyboard around because my fingers are large and I find it hard to type on really small keys which a small keyboard would likely have. Now, there may be some foldable keyboards with normal keys, but I’m guessing even they wouldn’t fit in your pocket. But I am sure others know more about small keyboards than do I.

I don’t want an extra backpack just to carry around a keyboard. My idea of a keyboard for the phone is one that’s either foldable or so small it fits in a pocket. Not that i myself use external keyboards at all, but if i were to get one, that’s what i would want to have. This though is only my opinion. /Krister 2 mar 2015 kl. 21:48 skrev Neal Ewers <[email protected]>: Hi Aman, and Thanks. I just ordered the k811. Thanks to both you and Jonathan. I do hope I like the touch, but it will be nice to have a keyboard without a switch that turns on and off whenever it accidently presses up against something when I carry it. Not a very good design in my opinion. Also nice to have it be used on more than one device without paring it each time I want to change devices. Someone should do a review of this keyboard on AppleVis. Hmmm, perhaps there is already one there, If not, I may just have to do that. Thanks again.

Also, do you care about specific hotkeys? For non-folding, I really like the Logitech K81x keyboards (they have the k810 and k811). They have the on-off switch, they can use several devices at a time, and the key feel is, in my very subjective view, very nice. It just feels like you’re typing on keys rather than on mush. The same may be said of the Logitech K480, but it’s a good deal bigger than the k81x units and has a ledge. Both can unlock the iPhone nicely and operate the unit with hotkeys if you want them. I am tempted to argue that the K81x and K480 have keys that are as good or better than the Apple board, but again, this is subjective. If you want a folding one, try the Amtop folding bluetooth keyboard. It’s nice and cheap, the key feel is good, it has a switch, and it’s generally a good unit. I returned it because I didn’t like the key spacing, but I suspect most people would like it. I have not used it for a long period, though, whereas I think my K810 is nearly two years old, and I am very hard on keyboards. HTH.

The subject says it all. I have the apple Bluetooth keyboard with the end push button for on and off. I have to take out the batteries every time I put it in my equipment case else the button at the end is often pressed to the on position and my keyboard starts talking to my iPhone. Someone told me about the Logitech keys to go keyboard which does have a slide switch, but it is a keyboard under a membrane. Evidently the keys are able to be felt, but I don’t know how hard it would be to type on it. I like the fact that it is rechargeable and the battery is supposed to last for months. Does anyone use this keyboard, or are there others you might suggest that have a toggle with for on and off? Thanks much for your help.
